"The Biggest Blizzard of NYC's history"

...as Buzzfeed said lol

Apparently, NYC would be expected 30 inches of snow on Monday night. I doubted them but it suddenly snowed very heavily and the wind howled so loud that it whistled! The ground was quickly covered by a blanket of snow but it still wasn't that much.

My mom was going to buy us dinner before she came home from work since my dad, who works in the MTA had to work overtime in preparation of the snowstorm. However, it snowed so hard and so my aunt said that my brother and I could eat at her place instead (which was right next door).

 

Mom came home with macaroons!

 

 

Around $20 for a box, so expensive! They look so cute but they are really sweet!

 

rawr~

 

 

It is not visible in this photo but it is snowing heavily. There was twice as much snow when I woke up the next day! (Not 30 inches though :d)

 

jussss chillin~

Hair Update!

Although my hair was already short, I was still unsatisfied with it because it was long from the back and short in the front since I cut it myself (I could not reach the back lol). Also the layers were choppy because I randomly snipped random parts with just a pair of children's scissors lol!

I went to a hair salon called Hair Line because my mom had a groupon which offers a deep conditioning with Moroccan oil for only $27~

I look like an alien! LOL

I showed the hair stylist a few pictures of Kiko Mizuhara because her hair was what I craved for like two years ;3;

 

He did a pretty good job! The back is a lot shorter now and the front is longer; that way my face doesn't look too round~

 

Side view; my hair is so soft and shiny after the deep conditioning!

I am very pleased with the results; it turned many heads :3

Spot Dessert~

We went to Spot Dessert at St. Mark's after shopping around in SoHo. Topshop had this sale where some items are up to 75% off; I got a set of three necklaces for only $5! It was a tattoo, charm and mood stone choker pack; so obsessed with chokers lately :3

After shopping around, we went to Panya to try curry pan. It was my first time tasting it and it was pretty good! For dessert we went to Spot Dessert which was just around the corner:

 

I forgot what this dessert is called but it has a cake and a scoop of ice cream with a sprinkle of walnuts in it. 

 

I ordered the dessert called The Harvest. The "soil" is Oreo crumbs. The sides are raspberry sorbet and fruit. There is also milk tea to pour into the pot as if I were watering a plant! 

Under the "soil", there are cakes which I think are lady fingers mixed with whipped cream and fruit. I really liked this dessert! c:

After our trip to the Gagarian Gallery, we went to Cup & Cup for lunch. It was a cafe but instead of the servers going to your table to take your order, you have to go to the front and order there. They had a wide selection of foods so I just blindly placed my order.

 

Latte & Macchiato ♨ I wish I had the leaf design; it looked so elaborate. 

I checked other people's photos of their Cup & Cup drinks on instagram and they had such intricate designs such as a teddy bear or a snowman. I'm still fine with a heart but teddy bears are cute :[

 

My udon! I love how it is also in a cup; how cute! There are bonito flakes on top and the steam makes it seem like it is moving.

 

Very delicious! I even drank the soup. It totally warmed me up.

Diana got rice with pork and kimchi fries. The fries are so good! They aren't oily like the ones in fast food restaurants

We stayed for a really long time; I would definitely come back here ^_^

In the Land of the Dead, Stepping on the tail of a Rainbow

I had an extremely productive day with my friend, Diana. We first went to the Gagarian Gallery at Chelsea to see artwork by Takashi Murakami. 

Funny thing; on my way to the gallery, I ended up on the same cart and train as her lol! She sat across from me and I didn't even notice!

The artwork was very beautiful and colorful. There were so many miniscule details on each piece that there was no empty spaces.

 

(I shouldn't have taken these at an angle but I felt really awkward to take photos because there were so many security guards watching us like hawks as if we're gonna steal the artwork :/ )

 

This is my favorite piece c:

 

I love when Murakami puts himself on the artwork!

 

My looking at the gold sculpture~

 

Diana and I! I look very sleepy in this pic lol~

 

mood

The gallery was fairly small but it was a sight to see! Taking photos was so frustrating because there were so many rules: don't get too close to the artwork, don't step across the taped line, no flash. I understand the reason of the rules but still! Other than the guards, I had a pretty good time c:

Makeup Haul

I received a bunch of new beauty products over the past few days and I am so satisfied with them!

 

Missha products from my mom's cousin! She always gives me beauty products I like. Last time, she gave me a limited edition Shu Uemura makeup bag, nail polish and lip gloss by the same brand. All the things she gives me are pink lol!

Anyway, I am digressing. The Sheer Fluid Blusher works really well. A little goes a long way. A dot sized amount can cover one side of the face. I put it on my cheekbones and it seems to highlight and lift that part of my face. It is not too pigmented which is good. It is a light pink tint.

The lip stick is like a pigmented chapstick. Unlike most lipsticks, it provides both moisture and color. Apply one coat for a sheer color or more to have a more vibrant color. It is also more long lasting than the other lip colors I use c:

 

This is the Crown Brush 88 Eyeshadow palette I got from Groupon for $10. For such a cheap price I did not expect it to be that great but I was very happy with it. There is an eclectic range of warm colors from navy blue to purple to brown.

The eyeshadow takes a few applications to have a vibrant color but that's good so the color won't come as too strong as I would like. I can just add more color if I need to. The thing I like most is that it doesn't fade or crease. Before using this palette, I used the one from Sephora. The color is suuupperrr pigmented but it then fades over time and it creases.

My makeup look with the new products I used!

 

Today, I purchased a face scrub called "Angels on Bare Skin" by LUSH. My friend, Sam let me try hers beforehand and it was great! I have terrible dry skin in the winter that it flakes like crazy especially after washing my face or putting on makeup. When I use this scrub, it exfoliates all the skin and leaves my face dead skin free and super soft (like angels on bare skin)!

A 0.25lb contain can last for six months since only a dime sized amount is needed. I got it for $15.75 which is worth the price ^_^

That's all the products for now; I was going to get a concealer but maybe I'll buy it tomorrow. I have to toss out my old concealers and foundation that I'm using because I think they are breaking me out :(

2015!

Happy New Year everyone! 

I spent the first day of the year with Colin. This is my first time spending New Year's with a significant other c:

We were planning to go to Prospect Park to see fireworks with his friends. I met up with him first. It was so cold outside esp. since I had to wait for him outside his place for 15 minutes :( He couldn't find his camera asdfjk but it's okay I got my phone.

 

Group pic! We waited so long to take a photo at this spot. I wanted to take a pic of Colin and myself there too since I wanted a new profile pic for a long time but people were waiting.

I don't understand why people take so long for photos. Like how selfish how they get, spending five minutes taking the same pic when clearly there are several people waiting for their turn. For us, we just snapped two pics and left. So simple and quick!

Also, there was a couple who just went under the lights to make out. wtf??? Go pda somewhere else!

Maybe I need to take more psychology courses to explain the reasoning of a human's selfish actions but that shit got me mad tight  *is an impatient person*

 

We decided to go to the same spot when the fireworks is over but here were too many people so we had to take the pics in front of everyone else *sigh*

 

 

Oh yeah fireworks~ 

plus we were given free champagne and hot chocolate.

 

It was very cold outside by the way. My body wouldn't stop shivering and my teeth would stop clattering D:

 

Waiting for the train.

We went to Union Square afterwards to eat and use the bathroom. We headed home afterwards since i was like 3AM. I wanted to sleep over at Colin's place but my mom said no. Like I bet I'll be 30 years old and my mom will still not let me sleep over at people's houses goddamn.

The next morning, I went to my aunt's house to have a New Years dinner with everyone. We had linguini and meatloaf. It was aiight~

I wonder how this new year would be like. It's not starting very well. 2014 was shitty.

I'm making some goals along the way:

• Work out more (please let me have a big butt this year!! >.<)
• Study my hardest in school (please have at least 3.5 GPA!)
• Clean my room at least once a week
• Eat more and stop skipping meals because I'm too lazy to make food

That's all I have for now I guess. Last year my only resolution was to not take shit from anyone and I did accomplish that although it has turned me into a bitch but I don't really care. I realized that some people make it incredibly hard for you to be patient with them.

I feel like as I grow older, the new year does not hype me as much lol :d
